Description
Welbeck is one of the great traditional landed estates bordering Sherwood Forest. It is home to an artisan village, producing specialist foods and crafts in a beautiful rural setting.

General Manager and brewer, Claire Monk, established our microbrewery in 2011. It’s housed in a beautiful listed barn at the heart of this community, and has steadily grown in size to meet the demand for good local beer. We also have some fabulous neighbours in adjacent barns, including a coffee roaster, chocolatier and bakery. All our products can be found at the Welbeck Farm shop in the Welbeck Courtyard.

The two guiding principles which underpin our brewery are to produce the best quality beer in the market, and provide our customers with exemplary service every time. Our head brewer, James, brews 15,000 pints a week which we supply into pubs, restaurants and specialist bottle beer shops within a 35 mile radius.

tried at the Strugglers Inn, Lincoln. Hazy ruby colour with an off white head. Aroma, fruit, and yeasty. Taste is red wine and woody. Nice, but not as complex as a Belgian Dubbel.

Cask at Merton Beer Festival, Friday, 26th February 2016 This looks good, light amber in colour with a small bubbly white head, clear as a bell. Easy drinking fruity beer, a touch simplistic perhaps, it’s popular, however I think that it is fine, nothing more nothing less. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov12 3.2
